Abbots Parish Council is in the early stages of looking at making certain areas of the village alcohol free zones. This comes following a number of problems involving alcohol fuelled anti-social behaviour over the last year. The move is intended to try and cut down on this increase in poor behaviour, and reassure those who may feel intimidated or unhappy by the boozy wrongdoings. The zone is likely to stretch from the High Street through to Manor House social club, which is a particular problem on cricket afternoons in the summer. The nearest alcohol free zone which is currently in place is on boundary way, which has been in force for a few years. Sgt John Anderson, who was present at the council meeting, was quick to play down any link between alcohol and anti-social behaviour. He said: “I am not aware of any persistent behaviour in Abbots Langley directly related to alcohol. Anti-social behaviour is not a significant problem in abbots compared to other areas that have had alcohol free zones.”

The Council want to be proactive in discouraging under age drinking, and this mission was backed up by chairman of the council Sarah Bedford. She said: “What we would like is to discourage people drinking in this area completely.”
